Always a lot of build up, and then the day is really nothing like the rest will be, of course. Ease into it, figure things out. Everything is deceptively straightforward and laid back. Or rather, the problems you find aren’t problems you’re equipped to address, so you get to outsource them.
I still wish I worked in a room that had any sort of natural light allowed into it. But I have conned my way into getting a drawer and a desk lamp. I may even get two, because it’s dark back here.

Ashley's co-blogger is a third year student at Northwestern University who runs on coffee and snark. . At some point, she'd like to make people sit on couches and tell her about their feelings, but right now she writes in different places around the internet and makes silly faces when she doesn't know what to say. She's the president of her local Secular Student Alliance affiliate, and she is on the Secular Woman speakers bureau. Opinions do not necessarily reflect those of the Secular Student Alliance

My department has windows, unfortunately they put offices up on the perimeter and now block any natural light unless someone leaves their door open. Instead, I get to enjoy non-stop florescent light, because that’s healthy!
